Pneumatic Systems

Pressure and Pneumatic Systems

• Pneumatics are the study of pressure in gas.

• The operation of pneumatics is based on the fact that gas can be compressed.

• As gas is decompressed, the particles start to move apart suddenly, creating a steady force to perform tasks.

Devices that use Pneumatics

• Dentist drills, air brakes in big trucks, dirt tampers.
